The pontiac firebird is a firebird made by the pontiac division of general motors. General motors stopped making pontiac firebirds in 2002 after almost forty years of production. The pontiac firebird’s successor is the pontiac GTO. Pontiac firebirds are classified as pony cars or American muscle cars. Many of pontiac’s car models are classified as muscle cars; their design centered on power and performance. Pontiac firebirds have an FR layout, which means the engine is in the front and the firebird has rear wheel drive. The pontiac firebird’s platform is the F-body. The only model other than the pontiac firebird that an F-body platform has been used in is the camaro. The F-body used in the first pontiac firebird underwent many changes over the years and looks very different today than it did forty years ago.
